Just remember that the semi finals were £15 and £12 (for most). Absolute bargain making a little bit of a saving on what most thought they'd cost.
I am not complaining about the prices. They don't bother me. I just want a sold out Swindon end and am thinking that this will put others off.

I had a quick click around and I can't even find a block you can buy 2 x £40 tickets now. From the looks of it, unless we sell all of the more expensive seats, they won't open any more blocks. Truly shocking.
Wembley is not the 'home of football'. It's a corporate behemoth that swallows cash. It's wasteful and over-engineered and we're all paying for that. The decision to flog the expensive seats up front is quite deliberate. The FA know that the fans of most clubs will only get to visit a couple of times a decade (if that)...and so will look the other way when they're clearly being ripped off.

I can't understand why they've released top tier seats in areas where the blocks in front haven't been released? It's going to look a bit odd if those blocks remain empty. Why not release seats above blocks that are already nearly full?

I'm hoping they do release more. I tweeted them asking them to release more seats. God knows if that'll happen though. It is a shame that there's only expensive seats left. So many one-time fans will miss out.

Its the seats by the tunnel so I am guessing so. They are the ones always empty for the first 15 min of each half for any game there. I think all the lower and middle tier blocks have been opened. Then just 3 in the upper.

One of the blocks in the upper tier is nearly sold out. And the few lower blocks I tried to get 3 seats in are unavailable. So that must mean that they're either not together or there aren't 3 seats in those blocks.

Only got myself (and others) to blame, because I was waiting on other people before getting tickets. Now all the decent side seats within our price range are gone. Top tier is too high for children, so if those blocks are all corporate and nothing else gets released, we won't be going.

Blocks 101, 102, 103 and 104 have been showing as unavailable from the start. Surely they can't all be corporate? I tried speaking to the box office and they were bloody useless.

They should be available as £62 seats. Block 101 iare Wembley seats, I believe. Check out the football league website

I've just booked in Block 119 we've got 5 seats together, that was as far round as we could get for the £62 tickets

I think the middle tier that's been greyed out is for Wembley/Football League and competition winners etc. Basic PR stuff, right?
